In this question, there are 4 consolation door and 2 car doors of total 6 doors. That means for the first door the chance to get consolation is 4/6 and car is 2/6. In second door, only 5 remains so the chance to get consolation is either 4/5 (if 1st door car) or 3/5(if 1st door consolation)

Win 1 car condition: 
1. 1st door car, 2nd door consolation = 2/6 * 4/5 =8/30
2. 1st door consolation, 2nd door car= 4/6 * 2/5 = 8/30
8/30+8/30= 16/30

No car condition
1. 1st door consolation, 2nd door consolation= 4/6 * 3/5= 12/30

At least one car condition
1. 1st door car, 2nd door car = 2/6 * 1/5 =2/30
2. 1st door car, 2nd door consolation = 2/6 * 4/5 =8/30
3. 1st door consolation, 2nd door car= 4/6 * 2/5 = 8/30
2/30 + 8/30 + 8/30= 18/30

The degree of the polynomial function f(x) is 4 The roots of the equation f(x)=0 are -4,-1, 2 and 5 Which graph could be the gra
Sauron [17]

If the roots of the equation f(x)=0 are -4,-1, 2 and 5, then binomials (x+4), (x+1), (x-2) and (x-5) are factors of needed polynomial.

Thus, the polynomial will have form

f(x)=a(x+4)(x+1)(x-2)(x-5), where a is real coefficient (positive or negative). This polynomial has degree 4 as needed.

The form of the graph depends on the sign of coefficient a. Attached diagrams show two different cases of possible forms of graphs (first one for positive coefficient a, second one for negative coefficient a).

The nearest whole number would be 93 because you round up if the decimal place is greater than 5 and down if it's less.

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through (-2,13) is y =5x-3what is the point slope form of the equ
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

y - 13 = 5(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Given y = 5x - 3 in  slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5, then

m = 5 and (a, b) = (- 2, 13)

y - 13 = 5(x - (- 2)), that is

y - 13 = 5(x + 2) ← in point- slope form

stepladder [879]

Answer:

the probability having no customers are in the system is 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability having no customers are in the system is as follows;

Given that the arrival rate is 1.25 customers per minute

The Service rate is 2 customers per minute

Based on the above information, the probability is

=P_0\\\\=(1-\frac{\lambda }{\mu })\\\\=(1-\frac{1.25}{2})\\\\=1-0.625\\\\= 0.375

Hence, the probability having no customers are in the system is 0.375

A piece of pie costs .10 and a cup of coffee costs .5. How much will 40 pieces of pie and 20 cups of coffee cost?
dybincka [34]
One pie costs 0.10
you are buying 40 pies so...
40 x 0.10 = $4

one cup of coffee costs 0.50
you are buying 20 coffee so...
20 x 0.50 = $10

$4 + $10 = $14

It costs $14 to buy 40 pieces of pie and 20 cups of coffee
